In separate incidents, four individuals have been killed by wild elephants in India, highlighting the ongoing human-elephant conflict in the regions of Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh. In Jharkhand's East Singhbhum district, a septuagenarian man was crushed while relieving himself in a forest, and an elderly woman was killed when an elephant attacked her home, prompting villagers to protest for compensation. Meanwhile, in Chhattisgarh's Jashpur district, two brothers were trampled to death after one ventured outside upon sensing an elephant's presence. Authorities reported that the victims' families will receive immediate financial assistance, reflecting a broader trend of escalating elephant-related fatalities, with over 270 deaths recorded in Chhattisgarh in the past three years. Forest officials are monitoring elephant movements to mitigate such conflicts, which have been a major concern in the area for a decade.
